The most important thing about what’s happening in the U.S. now is that we can set a new course for the country this November.
President Trump will do all he can to ensure his Party maintains control and has shown repeatedly that he doesn’t feel bound by laws, patriotism or the Constitution. His billionaire backers are prepared to sink record amounts of money into Republican campaigns to ensure his goals of wealth, power and vengeance are sustained.
Truth matters little to an authoritarian whose objective is to undermine confidence in elections, convince Americans the system is corrupt, manufacture urgency, and then argue that extraordinary powers are required to “save” the country.
But the ultimate guardrail no authoritarian script can replace is the voters themselves.
We must reject this authoritarian script and vote in November to defend our democracy and to deny the president the power to mold our country into his elitist, dystopian vision of what America should be.
